20 long questions

[James_O]

Yes, the other person I think thought they were livebearers, here is my largest fry

If you did a 1 second google search, you would have found that they lay eggs and scatter them.

I might stick with dry rock and a couple pounds lr so I can afford a cuc of animals I know about and corals. I don’t wanna put a beautiful animal like a nudibranch in danger because I cannot feed if

I think you mentioned a few times that you're not planning to dip your corals unless they're really sensitive. Using this method, I will bet that you'll have a couple of FREE nudibranchs. No need to worry about feeding those guys.

Hey Noah, I believe you will actually find that engagement will increase and you will get better and more direct answers by practicing some google-fu first.

Your history shows that you pepper your threads with questions jumping from one topic to the next very quickly and it seems not a lot gets resolved. Sometimes you circle back, often not.

If you start your questions at Google, most of the best links will bring you right to a R2R thread where it has already been discussed AND you can engage with the people who are already discussing it. If you don't find your answers, give the context, what you've found so far and ask for opinions.

I don't know many people that will stop what they are doing, to make you an Amazon list when you aren't willing to do it yourself, whereas, if you did some research, created the list that seems right to you and put it out with "hey, I'm looking to xyz, I've made a list on Amazon with products that my research showed would be needed and helpful. Anything you would add or subtract and why, Thanks" you'd have at least half a dozen people engage on that topic and a discussion could be had and you actually learn what you need.

Noah, you need to read this AGAIN

I know they aren’t livebearers. I thought the guy said that they aren’t born as babies like rainbowfish and I thought they thought rainbowfish are livebearers

@NoahLikesFish Take your time, slowly and go back and read all of the answers to your questions. You have 43 pages of good information. People on this site are trying to help, if someone says something that you don't agree with, that's ok but, they are still trying to give you good advice.
If your using a computer for this, open up word and take some notes.
phones have similar ways of taking notes .

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Ok. I think I’m going to restart my shopping list because i want to revise it

Don’t take peoples advice, if they don’t know what they are talking about. You should always double check and perform lots of research before getting any live pet.

I am gonna do dry rock and some seed lr from my lfs. With the money I save I’m gonna get a better led light a 99$ Chinese one, and a jebao pump

No what? I know they aren’t livebearers. I did my research on them, some person on r2r thought they were livebearers. I was correcting them

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Ok this is what I have, lr will be like 50$ probably

How about stop trying to correct people.

You came here to learn I think. Focus on that.

I am but then everyone starts talking about fw which I had no say in half the stuff in my tank, if everyone would stop talking about my fw I would appreciate it. Just know that all the fish are healthy, breeding and no stress or aggression issues are happening. I’ve had the tank for months no issues only fish that have died in my care were 3 tetras from shipping.

 

[NoahLikesFish]

This is the rock I’m looking at. It says you get a starter rock with coralline too! Down the road I might get more when I set up my display refugium which will be dive direct but I want to be able to manage my rock as this is my 1st tank and people told me to take it slow so having sterile rock that has to gain life will make me have patience. Anyone have experience with macro rocks?

You're asking everyone else to stay on topic? Homie how about you stick too A PLAN, like ANY PLAN, for more than 4 hours. You change everything on a dime.

I agree, you are on 5 other fish husbandry forums, mostly fresh water. That stuff can stay there but if you want people to stay in their lane, you need to practice what you preach. This is YOUR thread, lead by example.

Don't reply to people who post about your FW tanks. Don't mention your FW tanks or fish anymore. No one will keep talking about them then.

I read everything I could on R2R for a good 6 months before I joined. I even read stuff from 2018 and earlier.... Why because I was researching and getting my answers on my own. It's only been since last year that I started really chatting and trying to help out with answers.
I had saltwater tanks back in the 80's, so I knew some, but so much has also changed

Marco rocks are great. I would also recommend using CaribSea Life Rock. I have started two tanks with it... the shapes are easy to stack and fit together really well. The plus side is that they are seeded, to an extent, they are dry rock so you have time to build your scape without worrying about die off & they're already purple so the rock looks mature off the bat. Check it out.

I think I will stick with the marcorocks because they cone with a seeded piece but thanks for the tip on liferock. I did a little reading and it looks like they are painted rock (injected)

My newest tank (2 months old) built with mostly CaribSea Life Rock and some actual live rock hidden and mixed in. IMO, this is my favorite way to go. I have started 5 tanks and the two I used CaribSea Life Rock for (with live sand) skipped the ugly phase. Could still happen with my big tank, but hasn’t yet.

I’m watching a video in nsa aquascaping and I think I’m going to stick with it, it mimicks now over a long long period of time water will erode at live rock when there’s no corals on it making it look more natural. Also more space for coral and more hiding areas for my fish. I hope to do a multiple view aquascape so I can enjoy it from a frontal angle and from my bed
